Ingredient Focus...Astaxanthin

Monday 10th July 2017

In our constant quest to be at the forefront of skin health and anti ageing, we have found our new favourite ingredient and it's called Astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant from the carotenoid family, and is one of the most potent found in nature.

6000x stronger than Vitamin C and 550x stronger than Vitamin E this miracle ingredient set to be a game changer!

Derived from marine algae, it is what gives salmon and flamingos their characteristic pink colour, but don't panic, it doesn't have that affect on humans!

Like all other antioxidants, astaxanthin helps protect the skin from free radicals which cause oxidative damage. This enables cells to function normally and stay younger for longer, slowing the ageing process down and giving you glowing, clear skin.

A recent study In Japan, found that women who took an astaxanthin supplement twice a day for eight weeks showed significant improvement in age spots, wrinkles, texture and elasticity.
There is also evidence that it helps to support joints, help with vision and boost energy levels.

So watch this space ladies and gentlemen...looks like astaxanthin is here to stay!
